Bone density is a measurement of the mineral density in your bones. It is used to determine a person's risk for osteoporosis.
Humans and possibly a few other primates are the only animals that get a rash from poison ivy. Your dog and cat donât get it, nor do birds, deer, squirrels, snakes and insects. However, be sure to wash your dog after a walk near poison ivy because the urushiol can be carried on dogsâ fur and transferred to you!
Causes: When people come in contact with poison ivy, poison oak or poison sumac they often develop an allergic reaction that causes a rash at the site of exposure. The leaves of the plant secrete a resin called urushiol (u-ROO-she-ol) that provokes a delayed allergic reaction one day or more after exposure to the skin.
